Vought is a liar. #NIH has a stellar international reputation because we create world-leading, gold-standard innovation. You know who has a terrible reputation? Russ Vought and the Trump admin. South Park just did an episode on how much Vought’s ideas are horrible and the public hates them. 1/
Why do they lie? Is it because they are ill-informed? Or is it because they know the truth, and just tell people lies so that they can gut institutions at will?
We are in the Age of Extremity with the extreme being a dangerous, malevolent, devoid of morality, equity, and justice era.The celebration of the worst, the most extreme, the abyss of evil is now standard.Vought is the architect and engineer of this horror.People will die. Our nation will suffer.
He has a face that just begs to be punched.
Vought knows he has to lie about science because the public respects NIH, and when they learn about Vought’s autocratic agenda, they hate it. Trump’s approval rating is falling like a rock. While the public still respects science and NIH. THAT is why Vought is lying: he’s scared.
A horrible terrible liar who should be removed m
Karma please be swift for these monsters.
They've already committed mass murder in the destruction of USAID. But they're not satisfied with that.
Science is strong and autocracy is weak in America. The only reason we are here with autocrats attacking science is because Vought and his people have one important skill: lying. Lying to the media. Scientists and the public should now say that. Stand up for truth by calling out lies.
And re diversity, he’s talking about NIMHD, the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities. Which is not DEI. It’s largely about figuring out why some genetically diverse human populations respond differently to medicine and treatment and docs. That is important!!!
It's important if you think everyone should have an equal shot at living a healthy life, but Republicans don't think that.
Not just genetically diverse but also how geography and environment influence health, rural communities are one of their priority focus areas. Given the Republicans pandering to rural communities, you'd think they would support that work.
There’s no logic here. They will say anything to destroy government departments. Pretty soon we’ll hear heart disease is a deep state lie
I will not be surprised when that happens. Nothing surprises about this regime.
Only important if you're not a white male.
Lying and hatefulness.
He’s nuts. Oh they are SO desperate about the Epstein files. The whole entire administration is running scared this morning. They all showed up lying blatantly about everything they could think of. Trying to get people away from Epstein files. The republicans who are covering it up. The financials
